Kids Fishing Derby at Mississinewa Lake

Mississinewa Lake is made for a first fishing story, and this kids’ derby keeps things simple: morning shoreline casting, friendly competition, and plenty of cheering. It’s an easy way to turn a spring weekend into a lake day.

Bring basic tackle, sunscreen, and a small cooler for snacks. Afterward, stretch the trip with a picnic and a walk along the water before heading home.
